Introduction

OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software released and developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to acoustics, solid mechanics and electromagnetics.

Installed version

The are several versions of OpenFOAM available on the cluster:

  • 1.7.1
  • 2.1.1
  • 2.3.1
  • 2.4.0
  • 3.0.1
  • 4.0
  • 4.1
  • 4.1-gcc
  • 4.1-se
  • OpenFOAM-Extend/3.2

Using OpenFOAM on the HPC cluster

If you want to use OpenFOAM on the HPC cluster, you will have to load its correspoding module first. You can do by using the following command:

module load OpenFOAM

Not adding a specific version will load OpenFOAM in version 4.1. If you want to use an other version, you will need to add e.g. this to the module load-command:

module load OpenFOAM/3.0.1
